What's been going on

Work - Well that's been a little slow lately but got new IT coming in soon so should be good. Will be up to me to help him settle down and learn the ropes, poor lad :P. Had a few meetings on what's happening around the place and sorting out new people for a event organising group I help lead.

Over the next few weeks quite a lot of people will be finishing so will be an interesting few weeks. Hopefully I can get some of my stuff sorted I want done before I leave. I have already done my IT to Graduate assessment day but flatmate has his soon, hope all goes well for him. Will be weird if we both end up coming back and working together.


Personal - Home life down south has been good this past year, met some really awesome people who I hope to stay in contact with. Flatmates have been the best I could have asked for as they managed to put up with me :P but seriously they are some of the most fun and easy to get on guys I have met. I hope all my friends do well in all their future endeavours.

Just this week one of my friends made me lunch, It was however part of a challenge. to see if I could eat the biggest portion he has eaten for lunch. It was about 1kg of pasta with steak, it was nice but very filling. He said I could have it for £1 if I could eat it in one sitting rather than £4, It was painful but I did it but felt bad so gave him £2.

Soon myself and flatmates shall depart but not before we have one last hurrah and go out on a night to remember.

Injury

Well as it is Friday, I played some football with work colleagues during lunch. Thankfully the weather was nice and a little drizzle cooled us down before the game but that was it. It is five aside and there are people in light coloured t shirts against those in dark coloured t shirts.

I was on the light coloured t shirt side and we started off with a bit of a kick about to warm up. Then we started to play properly, however this surface is not the easiest surface to stop on(or fall over on).

About half way through the game the ball was passed to one of the opponents, it was heading deep in out half. I ran for it, I got there and reached out with my foot just managing to pass it to the goal keeper then continued to slide. Down I went onto my hands and knee.

Now just two weeks ago I had reached a bit to far for a ball and rolled over it, slid rather impressively on my other knee and ankle and rolled and got up. This hurt a fair bit as the surface is covered in sand. This time however was not as bad, but of course there was the other player right behind me coming for the ball. Now as I said stopping isn't easy and at this point I had my foot out stretched, kicking the ball.

Well over he goes, me joining him, we all stop play and make sure we are ok. After a couple minutes we get back in the game then our team precede to win the best of three game at the end. I walk off with a scuffed up knee to match the other side.

I will learn eventually, got IT vs Foundation game soon. Should be good as me and a flat mate are IT's and my other flatmate is a Foundation. He is really good though.

As always thanks for reading.
